This natural processed coffee comes from Las Moras farm in Aldea Las Moritas, San Antonio La Paz, El Progreso, Guatemala at 5,600 ft elevation. Produced by Gabriel and Floralia Gonzalez, who founded the farm in 1993 and grew it from 2.8ha to 17ha. The coffee is dried on African raised beds. San Ramon and Bourbon varieties offer flavor notes of ripe cherry, caramel, and milk chocolate with a juicy, easy drinking character.
Elevator Coffee was founded in 2016 by Jay Sycip and Andrew Coe in Portland, Oregon. Coe, the head roaster and coffee buyer, won the 2023 U.S. Coffee Roasting Championship and placed third at the World Coffee Roasting Championships in Taipei the same year. The roastery previously operated a cafe in SE Portland until Fall 2020, then pivoted to a wholesale and online model, roasting to order and shipping weekly. A 96 point Coffee Review score ranks it among the top roasters in the Northwest. The ethos is summed up in a tagline: roasted by nerds, not snobs.
